Year 31 of the Human Calendar - West wall of the Holy Land of Xue - On the wall
(Tang POV)
After hearing the alert sound from the Wind manipulators, I came to the west wall.
“This is weird...“ Tang
Usually, the gold rank spiritual creatures came alone, in a time frame of months.
“That is why I give the order of alert“ Hom
Ten of them are coming together in this direction.
“There is only one thing to do“
I leap off the walls as I pull my Bastard sword from its sheath at my waist.
“Sword Art - Blue Sword“
[1 MP CONSUMED]
......
...
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
After reaching my level cap, these creatures are not a threat.
“They aren't a threat, but...“ Tang
I go back to the top of the wall.
“As expected from the third king, You...“ Hom
“Hom, Activate the Red Alert “ Tang
The Red Alert, Every commander on the walls can't abandon their posts and every resident should keep their distance from the walls.
“This was only a reconnaissance team, I am sure about it“ Tang
The actions of those creatures were weird, as if they were under the control of someone.
“At your order, King!“ Hom
Only one person can be behind this...
......
...
One hour after the first wave, 120 more gold rank spiritual creatures and an equivalent number of cultivators came.
“It seems like they will divide their forces in three and attack the north, west and south again“ Hom
The same battle that twenty years ago is starting anew.
“It didn't work that time, and it wont work now“ Tang
Even without Shaolan and Usain, this land still has strong people. Yue and Qianshan will defend this place with me.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“There is no place for demons in this holy land“ Tang
I point my sword to the incoming wave.
......

-After the second wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
“...“ Tang
Hom and I defeated the group on this side and, according to the Wind manipulators in charge of communications, the other walls were fine too.
I go back to the wall and sit on the ground.
“Something tells me that this isn't over yet“ Tang
All the cultivators of the three cities are not just those.
...
One Hour later the arrival of the second wave...
“Here they come!“ Hom
......
...
-After the third wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
This will be a fight of attrition, should I leave this wall and go forward...?
(...)
No, I wouldn't know where or what to look for. Every wave comes from different directions, so tracking their origin is impossible.
I need to protect this place until Shaolan and Usain find him.
-After the fourth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Every wave is separated by one hour, and every time 120 spiritual creatures came attacking with a random number of cultivators accompanying them.
Neither more nor less, 120 seems to be the limit per wave.
-After the fifth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Hikari started singing to recover the mana of the fighting forces.
(Hikari POV)
(Don't give up, everyone)
As I stand In front of the statue of the goddesses of life and peace, I start singing.
“Song of Mana - Burst Dream“ Hikari

-After the sixth wave-
(Tang POV)

These creatures appear to be artificial.
There are three types of spiritual creatures that repeat themselves.
A yellow eagle of two meters, a red monkey of three meters and a black dog of three meters and half.
It must be some kind of ability of the last lord of this continent.
-After the seventh wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Even if the guards aren't able to defeat the Gold ranks alone, they can together.
Every guard formed a team of four people to engage the creatures.
One with Caring Touch, one with close quarter combat skills, one with long range skills and one to reinforce some of those.
After this battle the kingdom will become stronger, but let's focus on the now.
-After the eighth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Even if we can recover our MP with the Song of Mana and the Ethers, our stamina is the trouble.
In only one hour we cant recover completely, and little by little we are getting tired.
We cant afford to take turns. The spiritual creatures aren't only attacking the gates, we need every guard on its position.
-After the ninth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Our tiredness begins to show, some of The spiritual creatures are starting to bypass the busy guards.
“Haah...haah“ Tang
But it is fine.
The guard and the commanders aren't the only strong people of the Holy Land of Xue.
Fighting isn't the only way of experience for humanity.
And now, they will discover it.
“Haah...“ Tang
As I sit on top of the wall to recover my stamina, I can only trust in the people inside these walls.
In the new kind of society of this continent.
